Letter to Editor

I am a medical oncologist. I am an associate professor in the Division of Medical Oncology, Hematology and Infectious Diseases at Fukuoka University Hospital. I have performed basic and clinical research in diverse fields: such as breast, colorectal, pancreatic cancers and hematologic malignancies. My research goals are to contribute to the fight against recalcitrant cancer by developing translational research that can be developed into newer, safer, and more effective therapies for cancer.
I graduated from Fukuoka University, School of Medicine in 1994 and trained in General Surgery, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at affiliated hospital. In 2003, I obtained a Ph.D. degree in molecular cell biology from the Fukuoka University, Graduate School of Medicine. My postdoctoral research was establishment of monoclonal antibodies and development of viral vectors for cancer therapy at Sapporo Medical University. I received incitement award of the Japan Society for Moleculer Tumor Marker Reseach in 2006.
